Click the document below to see a presentation that was made by the Fort Worth League of Neighborhood Associations, which represents community watch groups, neighborhood beautification groups, and historical district groups in Fort Worth (not mandatory HOAs).  The FWLNAs works very closely with the City of Fort Worth Office of Neighborhood Services.   I’ve been to their events; they are a solid, legitimate organization working to educate homeowners in Fort Worth.

What are Mineral Rights

A mineral right is the legal ownership and/or right to extract a mineral (such as natural gas) from beneath a property. In Texas, mineral rights are treated as actual property and can be sold or leased. However, surface rights and mineral rights are not the same thing. It is possible to own the surface rights to a property (e.g. the land on which your home is built) without owning the mineral rights.
